Question

Parallelogram JKLM has coordinates J (−8, 16), K (8, 16), L (16, −8), and M (0, −8). Parallelogram JꞌKꞌLꞌMꞌ has coordinates Jꞌ (−1, 2), Kꞌ (1, 2), Lꞌ (2, −1), and Mꞌ (0, −1). Parallelogram JꞌꞌKꞌꞌLꞌꞌMꞌꞌ has coordinates Jꞌꞌ (3, 2), Kꞌꞌ (5, 2), Lꞌꞌ (6, −1), and Mꞌꞌ (4, −1). Which transformations describe why parallelograms JKLM and JꞌꞌKꞌꞌLꞌꞌMꞌꞌ are similar?

Answer 1

Uh, I would say the answer to you question is: A. Parallelogram JKLM was reflected across the y-axis and then dilated by a scale factor of 1/8 . B. Parallelogram JKLM was dilated by a scale factor of 1/4 and then translated 1 unit right and 2 units down. C. Parallelogram JKLM was rotated 270° clockwise and then dilated by a scale factor of 1/4 . D. Parallelogram JKLM was dilated by a scale factor of 1/8 and then translated 4 units to the right. So C is your answer to ths question! Hope this helps!
